scubasteve92 Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 What type of lighting do you have on your tank? I switched from leds to T5s and my pictures come out so much better! You may can adjust the white balance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+KimP Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 I have the same problem, it's very frustrating. Can you turn down your blues so only the white leds are on? I don't have any advice because I'm never really pleased with the lighting in my pictures since switching to leds. Turning off the blues does take care of that though. But then it's just pictures with only white light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jestep Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Shoot in RAW format, adjust color levels in post processing +1. There's pretty much no way to get the color correct if you are shooting and editing in jpeg form. Do you have a good photo editing program?

George Monnat Jr Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 White LEDs are actually blue LEDs with a phosphor coating to give a broader range of color, so turning off the blue ones doesn't mean you have no blue in the picture - just a little less blue.
